'I'm sorry, it's our fault' - Arsenal players to blame for Emery sacking, says Martinez

Arsenal goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez has apologised to Unai Emery and his staff following the head coach's sacking on Friday morning, blaming the Gunners' players for the Spaniard's dismissal.

Emery was released of his duties following Arsenal's longest streak without a win since 1992, just one day after throwing away yet another lead, this time in the Europa League to Eintracht Frankfurt, who beat the London side 2-1 at the Emirates.

Few can argue that results were good enough for a club of Arsenal's stature, with many raising questions over whether Emery had a clear plan in mind after seeing the Spaniard switch up formations and players without any ostensible improvements.
